Really not unusual at all - museums de-accession items all the time for reasons of space, funding for new acquisitions, changing display genres, or very often they just become tired of looking at it and want something new and different

But only on stuff the museum owns outright.

Kevin is right and Dean partially so. I am guessing the seller is Peterson and not NRA.
However, we attendees at the Hall of Fame dinner should count ourselves lucky to have held and viewed that 410 because after the auction, it will be in the hands of a private collector who may not let it see the light of day again.
Thanks Mr. Herzog.

It is my understanding that the Petersen collection was donated with restrictions on deassessioning. I doubt that the Petersen family owns any of the NRA stuff. The "restrictions" are what will hold up the sale of various guns, not the ownership.

Maybe the gun also made an appearance at the one HOF dinner that I have missed. But I soecifically remember the gun being at the 2016 annual meeting in Baltimore. Where the Curator of the NRA museum was the speaker.
